Alabama grocery store refuses to sell Pepsi products with NFL logo

Pepsi's slogan may have once been "The Choice of a New Generation," but one grocery store owner has chosen to no longer sell its products because they feature the NFL logo.

A Facebook post from S&Z Grocery in Athens, Alabama, stated the store would not sell the products until the logo is removed.

“This may cause me to lose some business, but here goes. S&Z supermarket currently will not be selling 20 ounce Pepsi or Diet Pepsi. These two items are currently produced with the NFL logo on them. I refuse to sell the product until the logo is removed. I will not bow down in order to make a dollar as long as the athletes are allowed to bow down and disrespect the flag and country I love,” the Facebook post stated.

That’s great! It’s be great if Kroger, Food Lion or another biggie would do it too!

This is News?

A Grocer decides what Products he chooses to sell and not sell, call in the Media.

For the record, I prefer the taste of Pepsi to Coke. Pepsi products that use Real Sugar are no more expensive than regular Pepsi.

Coke does not offer that choice unless you want to buy Mexican Coke which is much more expensive.

The kosher Coca-Cola sold around Passover uses real sugar and is not sold at a premium that I’ve seen.

I didn’t know that Food Lion was still in business in the US. I thought they had retreated to Belgium.

I don’t even know what their market segment could be at this point.

I am bothered more by Pepsi products featuring the Obama logo sideways. Are they still doing that?

That’s about 12 teaspoons of sugar and 2x recommended sugar intake per 12 oz can ...
